I think it would be nice if we could give the impression of a standard,
static html directory structure in the URL instead of exposing the JSP
extensions.
Instead of http://www.pangeasystems.com/news.jsp&id=1532, you have
http://www.pangeasystems/news/1532
The 1532 being some id of a news article.
This is an attempt to standardize the URL name space, so to speak. I'd like
to be able to change the implementation of the pages without modifying the
namespace, so that book marks, and links from other pages are not broken.
I don't really expect big changes in implementation, but I do expect changes
in overall formatting. For example, we may want to update the site so that
there is a "late breaking news" column on the right hand side of all
displayed news articles. In adding such a feature, it would be nice to have
options in mapping the URLs.
In general, I'm uncomfortable exposing the current page implementation
technology in the URLs.
